作词：Gordon Tsai,Christine Lee

A sense of calmness lands on my shoulders and palms

While the storms of my life gets me I sneak to the back empty

And I gently pull the door and glide through with a subtlety

This club's ready I feel the notes falling like confetti

I order my drink normal except by add rocks that I loot her

To take a sip and then stop the talk shop to one of the new ish folks

That I've seen the spot is hidden how did you find it

I recline back on my seat while she spoke well of her findings

This world is a cold one and we all move so mechanical

So when rain falls on the painting and the paint runs as attractive

Brings out imperfections that we try to hide but we can't

I don't leave with a glance I'd rather close my eyes and dance

If I miss a couple of steps and that's fine it's my humanity

What's wrong with being normal cause it's so off chasing vanity

Lights under lights and the off chance that I might

I came here to take the night off with those sax notes under ice

I stood in the moment but time pulled me in forever

Through the shift and move of things that end too soon

I stood in the moment wondering about me blank sterility

Efficient in this room

We're numb to reality but primed for this song

The notes they sway and though they move on

The past is always present ready for a visit

Close but never near even you can barely hear it

Oh even you can barely feel it

Imperfection used to be a picture too

Oh even you can barely hear it

The human in me don't know what to do

The sting in trouble cluff a minor seven in a flat

Black and white and shadows dancing all my thoughts back

Hear the clink and the glass of an jazzy poet

The silence in the night paints love as I know it

It's the best the broken only have regret

Is our new once on a canvas painted black

I stare down the glass can never take the time back

Can't ever make that smile but I thought I'd never make this rhyme rap

So the crowd claps they don't really care

All eyes are on the stage smoking sleeping in my hair

Tune up the notes I hear nothing but the night

'Cause wishing does nothing but I wish hope was right

Stood in the moment but time pulled me in forever

Through the shift and move of things that end too soon

Stood in the moment wondering about me blank sterility

Efficient in this room

We're numb to reality but primed for this song

The notes they sway and though they move on

The past is always present ready for a visit

Close but never near even you can barely hear it

If it's connections that I look for then why am I always blinded

I'm chained within my apps while my profiles are resigning

Blink another message and I turned off all the banners

See I purposely unplugged to be here in the banter

The artist on my left with the monochrome on his suit

Every time he hopped in a booth he came across something new

It would fill him with wonder and remind him what this bridges were

Building all alone with the streetlights is an orchestra

Grateful for these places to escape out of the rain

It's pouring in my cubicle and my home life is the same

I didn't hop inside of a plane I travel through the music notes

Boredom with these verses that loosen how all the nooses choke

I finally breathing now I miss the smoke and jazz keys

This makes me happy my life it isn't passed me

No it's only the beginning filled the station in arpeggios

Pacing through my playlist I'm facing it through my radio

Stood in the moment but time pulled me in forever

Through the shift and move of things that end too soon

I stood in the moment wondering about me blank sterility

Efficient in this room

Even you can barely feel it

Imperfection used to be a picture too

Even you can barely hear it

The human in me don't know what to do
